Adjustable machining system and dimension sensing gauge therefor.

摘要

A machine tool system having an adjustable dimension sensing gauge mounted in a holder or chuck and movably positioned relatively to a movable workpiece support, wherein gauge adjustments are produced by controlled differential motion between the gauge holder and an adjustment fixture on the workpiece support. The adjustments can be performed open loop based on prior calibration of gauge adjustment versus extent of support holder motion, or closed loop wherein gauge adjustment is based on the dimension of a reference bore.
